Styles and Supplies: Life Drawing, Gesso, Watercolors ("Stories that revolve around a love triangle often presume the presence of would-be binaries: a hero and a villain, the righteous and the evil, the good and the bad. But what happens when the roles are blurred and no one is out to hurt the other? In Ida Lupino’s 1953 drama The Bigamist and the recent dark comedy television series DTF St. Louis, the focus is on the humanity of all three characters within their marriages and the ambiguity of their actions. Taking a cue from the sympathetic nature of these characters, write a short story that involves a love triangle that is similarly even-keeled. How can you experiment with point of view, humor, or dramatic circumstances to create a narrative in which all members of the triangle are imbued with equally powerful traits of complexity and pathos?"), Tempera ("Queen of Cups reversed indicates someone with blocked psychic abilities and an emotionally unstable nature. In this reversed position, the nurturing and compassionate qualities associated with the Queen of Cups become overshadowed by moodiness and irrational behavior. This card warns of being excessively self-sacrificing or getting entangled in emotionally draining relationships. It urges you to take time for self-reflection and regain a sense of emotional stability and self-care.")
